CONCENTRATION CAMP OF SAN PEDRO DE CARDEÑA 1936-39

This blog was born with the intention of denouncing the things that happened in the concentration camp of San Pedro de Cardeña, totally hidden by yesterday´s political authorities and today´s political authorities. The name The Jaily News is a copy of the clandestine newspaper, that existed in San Pedro during 1938-39, elaborated by the prisoners to promote the discipline,self-respect and the morale. Counteract to the Daily of Burgos pro-Franco newspaper,one of the few reading objects in this camp. Remembering the words of Bob Doyle, prisoner in San Pedro, is one of my other aims." Anywhere in the world we see great masses of population without sanitary attention neither education, without foods nor drinkable water. The villages of Nigeria, where the oil company Shell obtains extraordinary gains, undergo an intense contamination, whereas they practice Caesarean without anesthesia on the women. The enemy has very sophisticated public relations now and we must change the methods to face them. We must make possible that the truth, our vision of the world in which we lived,the truth comes to the people under an understandible form. This is the best way to remember and to honor the past the past they fought and gave their lives for a better world. The fight continues." Therefore the game is ours, the fight continues. This blog does not have any spirit of profit. If some person, group, organization, etc, doesn´t wish that some images are published, text, music, etc, with copyright or patent of property, that he should comunicate it to us a it will be withdraw.
